Today’s Gold Box spotlight deal over at Amazon is Deadwood: The Complete Series for $64.99 (down 64% from $179.97 ). This 19-disc DVD boxset contains all three seasons of the foulmouthed HBO series, which was canceled when it was still in its prime. The set includes several bonus features, including “The Meaning of Endings,” where creator and writer David Milch talks about the conclusion of Deadwood.

In conjunction with the recent announcement of the Academy Awards nominations, there’s also an Oscar-Winning DVD Sale: Get 50% off past Oscar winners and nominees like No Country for Old Men ($11.99), Juno ($11.99), The Chronicles of Narnia – The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe ($11.99), Pulp Fiction ($11.99), Jaws ($8.99), and much much more (scroll through 11 pages of DVDs available for this offer). Sale ends February 23, 2009.

Today’s Gold Box spotlight deal over at Amazon is The Wire: The Complete Series for $81.99 (down 67% from $249.99). This DVD boxset, which was released last December, contains the entire HBO series on 23 discs.

This weekend’s 99-cent Video On Demand rental deals are Fred Claus and the rated version of You Don’t Mess with the Zohan. I haven’t seen the latter and have been hesitant to spend any kind of money to see it, but hey, for a buck, I’ll do it. And Fred Claus is a cute holiday film, so well worth the small amount of money.

Amazon is having a big Box Set Blowout, which has lots of great deals on DVD box sets, so I’ve listed several items that I thought might be of interest.

But first, let me tell you what just happens to be the Gold Box spotlight item of the day: The X-Files: The Complete Collector’s Edition, which you can get for only $123.99. That’s 62% off the regular price and let me tell you, I’ve have been waiting for this item to not only go on sale, but to even be available at all — most times you can’t even get this, so I’m thinking that I might just need to gift this item to myself. It’s just too good to pass up. This comprehensive box set includes all nine seasons of the television series, the original feature film Fight The Future — another typically hard to find item — plus, the Mythology Threads featurettes.

And speaking of The X-Files, it looks like they’re selling a 2-pack of both movies — Fight The Future and I Want To Believe — in Blu-ray for $39.99: The X-Files Movie 2-Pack [Blu-ray]. (By the way, there’s still a chance to win a DVD or Blu-ray copy of the recently released I Want To Believe in the Geeks of Doom X-Files Contest.)
